The Penhalonga Piper - John Edmondtranslation in French
Oh
once
there
was
a
farmer
Il
était
une
fois
un
fermier,
ma
douce,
He
was
an
Eastern
highlander
Un
montagnard
de
l'Est,
figurez-vous,
He
a
Scottish
borderer,
so
many
years
ago
Un
frontalier
écossais,
il
y
a
bien
longtemps,
Each
night
he'd
give
his
bag
a
squeeze
Chaque
soir,
il
pressait
sa
cornemuse,
His
pipes
would
echo
on
the
breeze
Ses
airs
résonnaient
dans
la
brise,
The
music
rolled
with
graceful
ease
La
musique
s'écoulait
avec
une
aisance
gracieuse,
The
Penhalonga
Piper
Le
Cornemuseur
de
Penhalonga.
The
night
that
they
attacked
him
La
nuit
où
ils
l'ont
attaqué,
ma
belle,
Were
rockets
on
a
homely
hearth
C'étaient
des
roquettes
sur
un
foyer
paisible,
The
anger
rose
up
in
the
heart
La
colère
monta
dans
son
cœur,
To
the
Penhalonga
Piper
Chez
le
Cornemuseur
de
Penhalonga.
He
reached
for
his
long-rifle
Il
attrapa
son
long
fusil,
And
when
he'd
fired
every
round
Et
quand
il
eut
tiré
toutes
ses
balles,
He
played
the
highland
battle
sound
Il
joua
le
son
de
la
bataille
des
Highlands,
The
Penhalonga
Piper
Le
Cornemuseur
de
Penhalonga.
The
Vendens
did
not
want
to
fight
Les
Vendéens
ne
voulaient
pas
se
battre,
The
Scurrilin'
devils
in
the
night
Ces
diables
de
vauriens
dans
la
nuit,
They
fled
in
fear
and
in
fright
to
Ils
s'enfuirent
de
peur
et
d'effroi
devant,
The
Penhalonga
Piper
Le
Cornemuseur
de
Penhalonga.
They
fled
in
one
big
yellow
streak
Ils
fuirent
comme
une
grande
traînée
jaune,
And
ran
in
dune
to
Mozambique
Et
coururent
jusqu'aux
dunes
du
Mozambique,
And
he
was
angry
for
a
week
Et
il
fut
en
colère
pendant
une
semaine,
The
Penhalonga
Piper
Le
Cornemuseur
de
Penhalonga.
